Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are pressing Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to call Attorney General Bill Barr and other senior officials to testify about President Trump's actions on Ukraine.
In a letter to Graham, the 10 Democrats on the panel argued that the committee has "an important leadership role to play" as lawmakers dig into a whistleblower complaint and the July 25 phone call in which Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to help look into Vice President Biden.
"Those documents raise additional concerns that the White House has known about and, potentially aided by top officials at the Department of Justice, may have taken steps to conceal presidential misconduct," they wrote.
As part of their hearing request, Democrats noted that Trump mentioned the attorney general specifically in his call with Zelensky. The committee, according to Democrats, should look into the "full extent" of Barr's involvement "with Ukraine and matters related to the whistleblower’s complaint."
SNIP
This is a coordinated offensive on three targets at the same time: Trump, Barr, and Giuliani.
The Democratic Media Complex is constructing a New Narrative; that everything Trump says and does is either treasonous or for personal gain and everyone in his circle of advisors is a co-conspirator.
The President is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States.
There is clear and convincing evidence that both Bidens committed bribery and other offenses against the laws of nations and of the United States.
Investigating them is Trump’s job.
Time for our side to do what the Obamanoids did. Take the Fifth, laugh, flip ‘em “the bird” and walk out.
The Dem party has not done a f-in thing which helps the country, or passed a law.
They are twisted with anger , and hatred.
I think it was Big Bob Guy or Big Bad Bob, the Freeper with a similar screen name that expressed the cogent 2-step response:
1. Executive privilege
2. GFY
Instead, Graham needs to call living witnesses to testify against Hillary Clinton. It is the one thing that might make the Democrats back off.
And it is a war that the communists Democrats may win because we have the losers Barr, Horowitz, Durham fiddling around with the repoart and will not attack. Trump is in trouble and the weak damn Republicans in the Senate will sell out and Trump will find out that threatening, talking, and do nothing will not save America.
Subpoenas are useless against guns, tanks and soldiers.
This is all-out war.
*************
Yes, its the political equivalent of a nuclear war.
They are now going all out to discredit Barr because they fear his report could be devastating and derail their impeachment effort.
Can House Republicans subpoena Biden and son?
the actual, for real “whistleblower” in this whole circumstance is the President and this retributive show trial being orchestrated in the House is about Federal retribution upon a whistleblower (President Trump) for having shone the light of day upon their treasonous, seditious conniving
That GOP Senate is really backing up Trump/s
Barr wasn’t actually even “investigating” Biden, but the whole situation of the fake dossier and its origins, which are connected with the Ukraine and the former president of the Ukraine. The “Russian interference” scenario seems to have been aimed only partially at Trump, and was also an attempt to ruin any possible good relationship with Russia, the Ukraine’s arch-enemy (in the rather limited Ukrainian mind). This is a conflict with centuries of history, and Ukrainian politicians are only too happy to take advantage of it.
As for Barr “investigating,” that’s his job, isn’t it? And as for Trump talking privately to heads of state about matters concerning the US and their states, well, that’s his job, isn’t it?
This is a race to the finish of sorts:
The Deep State/Dems realizes that Trump, Barr and Giuilani are serious about trying to get to the bottom of the 2016 meddling investigation, the corrupt origins of it that is. That’s why Trump inquiries of CrowdStrike and the server spooks them more than him asking about Biden’s corruption. News today of Barr’s personally getting involved with asking foreign intelligence about the 2016 election origins must rattle them too
So the Deep State/Dems/media are trying to poison Trump, Barr, and Rudy as corrupt in front of the public and them as the corrupt ones if DOJ do bring down the hammer on Obama’s Administration. They want to remove Trump and end the investigation into their corruption
They KNOW something is happening and it’s not good for them. It’s not a whitewash or coverup of Dem corruption.
With Barr it's in the LEGAL, not political realm. Doesn't matter what he says politically. He's investigating and will be charging crimes.
The Democrats have turned our country into a political war zone. Their scorched earth tactics are leading to deep and lasting divisions in this country. Or possibly much worse.
TRUMP MUST EXPLAIN THIS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TELL THEM HE WILL NOT FORFEIT HIS EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY JUST BECAUSE THE DEMONIC-RATS WANT HIM TO!
